It's actually really disappointing people are genuinely angry/upset about Hunter's haircut

Y'all. It's the exact same scenario as Amity changing hers

It was a style their abusers forced on them to mimic a specific person, so by changing it they get to take their autonomy back

The other thing with Amity's cut is it was symbolic of her cutting her abuser out of her life; between the new color relating to her passion (abomination) & purposely keeping some of the brown rather than it just grew in over time (her father's hair color), it was some cool foreshadowing that Amity was going to cut Odalia out of her life, like she did the green out of her hair, but that Alador was gonna stay. I wrote a post about this months ago after COTH aired

Hunter's cut is the same symbolism. He only had that style because he was modeled after Caleb, and because Belos genuinely never saw a single GG as their own person, they were all just Caleb to him. Yeah, I would've liked to see the headcanons of him dying it red for Flapjack, but him changing the style itself is still symbolic of him no longer being modeled after Caleb, and literally cutting away the last of Belos' influence on him.

I'll admit I found Amity's new cut weird when we first saw it but I was fully behind the idea of her completely changing it after we saw it was modeled after her abusive mom. Now when I rewatch S1 the old style looks weird to me bc I'm so used to the current one (and the meaning behind the old style really sours the look of it for me which is a shame cuz I loved the green when we first met her)

Hunter's new cut might look weird (esp since it's just in a poster rn) but again, I'm fully behind the idea of him completely changing it after everything we've seen since Hollow Mind. We won't have nearly as much time with it as we had with Amity's new look, but I'm sure the "it looks weird bc it's different" feeling will fade just as fast as it did for Amity, especially when you remember the meaning behind the old one.

TL;DR even if you think the specific style of Hunter's new cut looks weird, 1. It's because it's brand new you'll get used to it, 2. The meaning behind the cut is more important than "his old style looked better"

#toh #toh spoilers #the owl house season 3 #toh hunter #amity blight #the symbolism of cutting abusers out & taking back autonomy matters more than if its hot or not y'all. hes 16 let him have an awkward cut #im kinda flabbergasted to see the angry & entitled demands it be changed back or changed to something better. like. dana has already been #treated so poorly by execs this entire time & now fans are crying their fav got a haircut & demanding she change it? fucking come on #tc posts #the hair noodle being a thing Flapjack & him had is kinda the same how i feel about darius using little prince anymore. yeah it was their #thing but they can get a new thing that isnt related back to belos in anyway & its ok to allow that kinda change!#toh meta #i saw someone mad about the haircut & the gloves like! do you want your traumtized fav to heal or not pal?
